Ingredients

• 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 small Red bell pepper
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Shuck the corn by removing all husks and silks. Rinse the ears under cool running water.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn ears and boil for 5 minutes. Remove the corn and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

While the corn cools, halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

Step 4

Peel strips along the cucumber's length for a decorative edge, then dice it into small cubes.

Step 5

Core and dice the red bell pepper into similar-sized pieces as the cucumber.

Step 6

Finely chop the red onion and set aside.

Step 7

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, stand each ear up vertically on a cutting board and slice downward to remove the kernels.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.

Step 9

Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the salad.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.

Step 11

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 12

Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to enhance the flavors.
